I know chile verde. I know how it's supposed to taste. I know the consistency, the mouth feel...I even make my own at home. So when I try a Mexican restaurant for the first time, I usually order chile verde as an initial test because if they cannot make a flavorful, well seasoned pork stew (which is what chile verde...

First off it was like an oven inside with only fans to blow hot air around, no ac. I mean come on, this is a very warm region in California during the summer. I wish we had just left right then! As for food, the menu was VERY limited and what we chose was the worst Mexican food I've ever...

We love this place. It's way bigger now than it was years ago, but food is still good.

It wasn't just me, my parent's plates were just as bad and we barely touched our plates. I want to say they were...

Like others, I'm not sure where the positive reviews came from. There was no AC, just fans, and at the lunch hour it was too hot to enjoy the meal which was supposed to be a special visit with relatives passing thru town. Food was really overpriced for the area; ours wasn't horrible, but not worth what we paid for...
